SIGEV_THREAD and timer_create clarification

[Mark Brown <yyyyy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

        The rationale under timer_create() explains concepts of timer 
overruns
in terms of queued signal delivery.  We would like a clarification on 
whether
the overrun concept is applicable with the sigevent structure associated 
with
a timer creation is a SIGEV_THREAD notification rather than SIGEV_ SIGNAL
notification.
 
         We've noticed that the spec extremely limited in what it says 
about
thread notification, mentioning SIGEV_THREAD only in signal.h (struct 
sigevent),
and in the Signal Concepts section of General Information.
